Yes, you should avoid damaging the motherboard when jump-starting with a screwdriver.

When you lightly touch the screwdriver to those pins, it's okay. You should avoid exploring the rest of the board, as that might lead to harm, but handling those pins is acceptable.

Keep going without interrupting. The chance of accidentally hitting something else is higher.

It's fine, shorting the pins momentarily is what the power button do But don't short anything else

It's safe - the pins are being discharged, like the power button too.
